Figure II is a top vier: of our improved bung-extractor. p p i l p Inthe accompanying drawing, A'reprcsents a. lever, the lower end ofwhichis made with a circulan cavity the lever A is likewiserounded offon the outside or bottom. p l l. p

To extract the bung outlof a barrel, the end of the lever A is placedagainst the bung, as near to tlielstave lever B is the-n thrown over thebung, `so as to take hold of' the same on the other side, `and as `nearas possible opposite to the point where the end of the lever A is incontact with t-he said bung. t By pressing now the upper B, being firmlyjointed o n the pin's to the lever A, `will clutch the bung firmlybetween its `inner end and the end of the lever A, and cause the bung tobe extracted. l l l l 4 Whatwe `claimas our inventiomand desire tosecureby Letters Patent, is, i p i i The lever A, with a circularcavity, "n, at its end,l in combination with the` strap ben-shapedleverBJ hinged to said lever A, the whole being constructedand operatingin the mannerland for; `the purposelsubstantiallyas set forth anddescribed. l V j l l u f 4 p `FELIX llMILLER, i
